ArrayScan™ Emission Filter Wheel Module

Features

• Automated specificity—Permits more flexibility in spectral combinations allowing for imaging of more custom fluorochromes. May reduce background and increase signal-to-noise when fitted with appropriate filters
• Integrated—Integrated with software and validated for performance for simple setup and customization. Filter turret controlled from protocol software allowing automatic change during plate run
• Rapid filter switching—Rapid turret movement with switching time of 300 ms between cubes

Key addressable assays

• FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer)—FRET is when a donor color molecule (chromophore), in its excited state, can transfer some of its energy (the donor) to another chromophore resulting in a much brighter signal in the acceptor. It is used in studying protein-protein interactions.
• Qdot® nanocrystals—Tiny semiconductor crystals that can be designed to excite and emit at very specific wavelengths. Cells and structures can be labeled with these and structure identified for analysis
• Live cell applications —May be used with optical density filters to attenuate light to avoid phototoxicity whenever more spectral discrimination is needed
